The US Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for Steve Bannon, a former adviser to US President Donald Trump, to overturn his conviction in a case linked to the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
Bannon, a leading figure on the far-right, served four months in prison in 2024 for defying a subpoena to testify before a congressional panel investigating the 2021 attack.
But he appealed to the Supreme Court to have the conviction overturned, a legal challenge the Trump administration joined in February.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has described the move as a course correction from what he claimed was “the prior administration’s weaponisation of the justice system”.
In a brief, unsigned decision on Monday, the Supreme Court granted this request, vacating the appellate ruling upholding Bannon’s conviction and remanding the case to the trial judge.

Bannon, a mastermind behind Trump’s first presidential campaign, was sacked as chief strategist in the White House in August 2017.
